“When all is said and done, the most amazing part of our participation in this contest has been the stories from people who were affected by our actions,” Jones says. “We never thought that entering this contest was so significant; we did not second-guess entering as a same-sex couple. Yet, we have received messages from high school students who have yet to come out, but see our entry as courageous. We have received emails from mothers of LGBTQ youth who felt strength in our participation, realizing their children may be okay after all.”
